1a. Warmed up with lots of stretching, 15 quick burpees, samson stretches and SQUATS: 3 x 5 x 205 (plus warm up sets -- bar, 135, 185)
1b. Dumbbell Bear -- FAILED!!!
Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes perform the following:
- 5 Dumbbell Deadlifts
- 5 Dumbbell Hang Cleans
- 5 Dumbbell Thrusters
Tried this as rxed (35lb DBs) and couldn't keep the press portion of the thrusters going after 5 sets -- that 5th set of thrusters was pure agony. This could have been b/c of shoulder work on Monday but no excuses -- was hard.
Continued with 20s and while the deadlift was a worthless joke, the cleans were impossible to even do at that light weight (too ridic, was really just curling em), and the presses were light as a feather, the squat portion of the thrusters started getting to me this time and after another 5 sets (10 total) I could not go on... Could have been b/c I started squatting but I don't know. I think that would have been good warm up. I think I just wasn't ready for it today.
Will try again with 25s to complete tomorrow. If sore tomorrow, then Sunday or Monday. This should be doable. Longer term goal of completing as rxed by end of summer (or at least end of September).
2. ATTEMPT at running -- calf spasms back
I went for it on the treadmill and my calf started twitching like it was gonna go. somehow calmed it down and kept going but then a few min later started twitching again and wasnt gonna tempt fate. SUCKS! I will try as a test to run after a lift session with no leg stuff, but I think it might be more full body fatigue so GPPs and lifting could make difference anyway. SAFE thing from now on is to run at beginning or as own workout. Don't cap a workout with a quick mile or two, use that as a warm up to get blood moving.
Weigh in at 171.. weird. I had felt like I gained weight today. Been eating like a horse.
